For correctly stating that the NFL was artificially pumping up the accomplishments of a quarterback because he happened to be black. If you're implying THAT was racist, you have it backward. The racism there was the NFLs, in a somewhat more subtle way, by implying that without their help, a black quarterback couldn't get recognized for his play on the field. Rush simply pointed out that McNabb's numbers weren't at the level that would correspond with the way the league was promoting him. They are THIS year, by the way, but then, Rush isn't around to say that on ESPN, now is he?

Were Rush's comments racially motivated, he would have also included Culpepper, Stewart, McNair, Vick, Carter, etc. in his tale. He didn't, because his story was motivated by football, not race.

With a one sentence reply, it's difficult to tell just what you're trying to imply, but if you're trying to find some equivalence between what the left is doing to Condi Rice (and will do to Thomas, should he be nominated as the next Chief Justice), then you're way, way off the mark. If that's not your intent, then I apologize for mistaking it as such.

Noooooooooooooo. Rush was not being racist. I was being sarcastic. If anybody insists there's no such thing as left-wing bias in the media and then says, "Okay, give me one example of left-wing media bias," hit them right over the head with this one. Just when you thought the Left couldn't be any more offensive and hateful, they find a new low.

Hope this clears things up.

While we're on the subject, the Left has, once again, shown its true face. The mask is really off. I don't ever want to hear them again try to make hay on some imagined "racial slur" made by a Conservative. If they do, I have a one-word reply:

Oliphant.
